exactly.

6. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas,
including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow "B" in the
safety information above on this label. If you don't smell gas, go to the
next step.
7. Find pilot - located in firebox on the same plane as the top of the burner.
8. Turn knob on gas control counterclockwise to "PILOT."
